"The largest and grandest views of material things that man has ever taken, Miss Evelyn, stand upon a basis of the closest calculation." Florence worked at her worsted and looked very dissatisfied. "O Mr. Carleton," said Constance as he was going, "don't leave your vinaigrette there it is on the table." He made no motion to take it up.
It was only at the last moment, I bethought me of the fragment of gold chain which mademoiselle had left behind her, and which, as well as my mother's rings and vinaigrette, I had kept back from the sale. This I was forced to lodge with him. Having thus, with some pain and more humiliation, provided means for the journey, I lost not an hour in beginning it.
As he spoke, he unfastened for the second time in their acquaintance the tiny vinaigrette case from his watch-chain, and handed it to her. Dora flushed scarlet, and took it without a word. "I got it one night in the course of that fever, when I was at the worst, and I know you will like to hear that I am sure it did me good.

"Oh, Mr. Carleton," said Constance, as he was going, "don't leave your vinaigrette there it is on the table." He made no motion to take it up.
"Tell your friend, Miss Constance," he said putting an exquisite little vinaigrette into her hand, "that I have nothing worse for her than that." "Worse than this!" said Constance examining it. "Mr. Carleton I doubt exceedingly whether smelling this will afford Miss Ringgan any benefit." "Why, Miss Constance?" "Because it has made me sick only to look at it!"
So saying she drew a vinaigrette, set with fine imitation carbuncles, from the plush reticule, and applied it majestically to her nose. The Prophet grew really perturbed. He remembered his promise to his grandmother and Sir Tiglath, and felt that he must assert himself more strongly. "I assure you," he began, with some show of firmness, "no tests will be necessary.
Chatterton drew out a vinaigrette, then a fan from a silken bag, with clasps that she was always glad to reflect were heirlooms. "It's trying, I must confess," she declared, alternately applying the invigorating salts and waving the combination of gauze and sandalwood, "to come home to such a reception. But," and a heavy sigh, "I must bear it." "You ought to see father," cried Mrs.
"It is coming to pay a visit," he was saying persuasively, "while your affair here blows over, my Juan and and making my last hours easy, perhaps." I looked at him; he was worn to a shadow a shadow with dark wistful eyes. "I don't understand you," I faltered. The old man stirred, opened his lids, and put a gold vinaigrette to his nostrils. "Of course I shall not denounce O'Brien," I said.
I felt her arms interlace my neck, her clenched fingers sink deep into my flesh, and all was over. I had lost consciousness. When I came to myself I was lying on the grass. Julie was chafing my hands, and the Marchioness, in her bathing-dress, which was streaming with water, was holding a vinaigrette to my nose.
She had taken up the vinaigrette, and was thinking with acute pleasure that Mr. Carleton's manner last night and to-night had returned to all the familiar kindness of old times. Not as it had been during the rest of her stay in the city. She could be quite contented now to have him go back to England, with this pleasant remembrance left her.
